Last decent workout before the race on Saturday.  I can't wait for it to be here.  5 tempo miles on the track.  70 degrees and rainy.  

Took the first at 5:53 and then the next 3 were right on 6 then the lat one was a few sec under 6.  I felt good but I will feel better with the 40 degree start temp on Saturday.   Plus hopefully I won't east a bowl of cereal right before the race like I did before this run...

I eat cereal before every run. LOL

Remind me again which half you are running on Saturday. Can't remember.

I am so excited for your race as well! You are going to kill it (cereal or sans cereal).

Seriously, that pace is star style!!! :)

I love the cereal but not before running fast - I thought I had to get the kids yesterday but then traffic wasn't too bad for my wife.

Teena - thanks. I hope you are right.

The race is the Silver Comet Half Marathon. It isn't huge- 2000 limit, but looking at the results, there seem to always be a handful of people going at the pace I'll be running.

I can't wait to read all about your race Sat. You've been running so well lately. It is truely mind blowing. If you keep getting faster, we're going to have to start calling you Flash.

Thanks Rhett - I can't wait either :)
